They just don't get it.
Even if supposing, just supposing that some of their allegation agaist the President were true, first of all, he DID get an honorable discharge, so nothing could have been really bad; and second of all, IT DOESN'T MATTER.
Why doesn't it really matter?
It's because people already watched Bush BE President for 4 years, and watched him perform under tremendous, critical circumstances, watched him successfully lead the War on Terror, getting rid of the Taliban and deposing Saddam. they don't have to try to guess, based on what he did or didn't do 35 years ago, whether he is capable and resolute enought to lead us during these critical times. The answer is a resounding YES. Bush has already proven himself many times over.
But Kerry has NO track record, except his Senate record, where he voted against defense systems, voted to cut intelligence, didn't think we should fight communism, because he didn't think we could win, and Kerry is running for president, based on his Vietnam record. Well, in that case, it's only fair to examine that and his subsequent actions of his attacks on his fellow soldiers, when he called them war criminals and met with the communist Vietnamese.
Great post. Square on. And the absolutely ludicrous thing about it is that the Dims attacking Bush on the basis of what he did or didn't do when he was in the military doesn't even energize their base because military service/ lack there of was proven irrelevant when bubba got elected.
I need your help,or any other freepers help.
I thought GWB signed HIS SF-180.
If he did, the next reporter who asks Scott McClellan(sp?)about GWB's guard service, should IMMEDIATELY pull out about 100 copies, and say as they are distributed to the press:
"Unlike Sen. Kerry, President Bush has signed HIS SF-180, and here is the documentation. The SF-180 form authorizes the US military to release ALL of the military records of the person who signs the form. These records have been released to the public. Sen.Kerry has NOT signed HIS SF-180, thus creating some of the controversies surrounding his service made by various groups. All Sen. Kerry has to do is SIGN HIS 180, have the remaining 100 pages or so released to the public, and we can then put these 527's to rest on that issue, and get down to the OTHER more important issues that need to be discussed in this 2004 upcoming Presidential election"....
THAT would put Kerry BACK on the defensive. When he and EVERY KERRY TALKING HEAD is asked to show HIS SF-180, AND CAN NOT, maybe someone will ask him WHY NOT ???...GWB has signed HIS.
